The all-civilian cast marks a major change for the reality competition, which has previously featured reality stars and other recognizable personalities. The new contestants were selected from more than 80,000 applicants and include an astrophysicist, barrel racer, funeral director, ironworker, pilot, teacher and MLB analyst.

The Traitors are once again hidden among the Faithfuls, with the contestants tasked with figuring out who they can trust while competing in missions to build the prize fund. The Faithfuls must banish all of the Traitors to win; if a Traitor survives until the end, the Traitors take the prize.

Set at Ardross Castle in the Scottish Highlands, the competition puts the 22 players through missions that help build a prize fund worth up to $250,000. Each night, the secret Traitors can “murder” a Faithful, while the group gathers to banish a player they suspect is working against them.

The civilian version keeps the basic structure of The Traitors while giving the game an entirely new cast of players with no prior reality TV experience.
